This historic landmark is one of only four libraries in the United States endowed by famed industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie.  The other two still in use are located in Braddock, Homestead, The library in the town of Duquesne has been demolished. A two-story Italianate facade composed of russet colored brick with terracotta trim sits upon a hill overlooking Carnegie's Main Street. The facility houses a public library and a 500+ seat Music Hall modeled after Carnegie Hall in New York. The Music Hall adjoins a reception hall and studio space. Also in the building is an intact Grand Army of the Republic post room from the Civil War called The Thomas Espy Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. The room houses artifacts such as flags and books and relics of the original GAR. GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) was a veteran’s organization formed in 1866 and membership consisted of honorably discharged Union soldiers, sailors and marines of the Civil War. The collection contains the biographical and military information on the members. It’s interesting to see the picture taken of the men belonging to the post posing on the front steps of the library. This is a great place to start a search if you have family from the area that served in the Civil War. You just may be a descendent who can identify someone from your family tree.  Anyone interested in the Civil War should make this a stop.

Shiloh Street is a great place to stroll especially on a summer Saturday. Starting on Memorial Day to Labor Day, come to Mt. Washington and experience Mt. Washington Art Market Place where some of the Pittsburgh areas best artists will be on display. Each week different artists bring new and interesting pieces to the event which runs 11 am-6 pm Paintings, jewelry, sculpture, woodwork. You'll also find some neat little places to shop as well. The Eiseltown Flower Shop is reminiscent of a craft shop of the past; having candles, live plants and lots of little gifts and souvenirs.  You can also play the lottery, pick up a newspaper and buy refreshments and snacks.  Visitors will enjoy this shop with its homey atmosphere and friendly employees. Lucky Bucks a dollar store is clean and bright on its corner location.  Visitors can go buy those last-minute items at the good ol’ price of one dollar.  The store also carries souvenir T-shirts and Pittsburgh items. When you get hungry stop for a lite bite at Grand Brew Cafe enjoy your coffees, lattes and cappuccinos in a tastefully decorated café or sit out at one of the sidewalk tables.  The café has a menu of sweet delights and is located next to DiFiore’s Ice Cream Delight, so there are treats for everyone in the family. If you’re really hungry drop in at J&J's Family Restaurant, this family friendly restaurant is inviting and has the atmosphere of dining at a private home.  Here you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner at any time during their operating hours at a reasonable price.  Homemade pies and hard-packed ice cream are there for dessert, and even get a hug from the owner’s daughter before you leave! I chose to stop for a bite at Redbeards, the food was very good and the service even better.  Packs and Dogs is only a few years old in this location, they feature beers from around the world so if beer tasting is your fancy, this is the place to buy a six pack from six different countries to go with the variety of mean dogs made with any combination of condiments served up in a fifties style diner atmosphere.

Washington around and between the Inclines? Interesting question and something I've always wanted to know. So I started my quest at the Downtown Welcome Center at 10:15 am. The walk to the incline is made easier by going through Point State Park, continue over the bridge under the highway overpass, and bear to the left toward the Fort Pitt Museum to follow a path that leads you over the Fort Pitt Bridge and directly to the bottom of the incline. This took a mere 15 minutes to do. The ride up will never get old to me, the skyline is fascinating and the view of the hills surrounding Pittsburgh literally takes your breath away. It's always a better experience when you're riding with people who are enjoying their first experience riding the incline. I rode up with a family from France who never stopped taking pictures. I engaged them in conversation using my Pittsburgh skills to wow them even more. When you reach the top station of the incline be sure to take time to check out the Inclines historical pictures of the city and how the incline works. There's nice gift shop as well for souvenirs or something cold to drink. Exiting the station a I made a right turn to view the statue of George Washington and Native American Guyusata Stop and ponder what they were debating. Very cool! Doubling back towards the Duquesne Incline station and continuing past it you'll notice some of the upscale restaurants that serve food with aview to boot. Just pass these starts the unique houses some glamorous some left over from the coal mining days that have been remodeled dressed up with landscaping, door and window hangings. At the intersection of PJ Mcardle and Grandview Avenues I got my first view of the city sky line, just peek of whats to come if I continue up this slight grade about another 500 feet. Then boom there she is in all her glory a full view at the first lookout across the street from a beautiful church named St. Mary's on the Mount with its ten beautiful stained glass windows that are a pictorial view of the life of Christ. Over the main entrance is an immense window representing the "Ascension" Another 500 feet or so I come to the second lookout across from the historical landmark Carnegie Library which is painted white and looks more like it belongs on an island. As I continue on my way to the Monongahela Incline the side walk bumps out slightly over the mountain with bench sitting were couples had seated them selves enjoying the afternoon and each other. Within a quarter of a mile is a smaller lookout platform followed by another sidewalk bump out. I came upon the Monongahela Incline and checked the time. Its just a sweet 35 minute leisurely walk with very interesting points of view. Be aware that there are no restrooms between or at the inclines. So making a stop on Shiloh was a must and I wanted to visit there anyway. More about Shiloh Street in my next blog.

The robot is made of recognizable girders and beams from Pittsburgh's many bridges, several of which stretch up and down the river just across the street. Pittsburgh is known as the "City of Bridges." The robot looks impressive, but it probably won't last until the wonderful future when the real Transformers rule the earth. Located at: Fort Duquesne Blvd and 7th Street, Pittsburgh, PA Directions: Downtown, along the south side of the river. I-279 exit 6C onto Fort Duquesne Boulevard. Drive three blocks. The Transformer will be on the right, just past the third stoplight, at the intersection of 7th Street, in front of a parking lot. Eyeball Seats Named in honor of Agnes R Katz, the plaza features eyeball seats surrounded by 32 double rowed linden trees and a fountain by Louis Bourgeois that is 25 feet high and features two streams of water that spring from the top and flows to the base. The fountain has heated water allowing it to flow all year round.  Located at: Penn Avenue and 7th Street, Pittsburgh, PA Directions: Downtown, along the south side of the river. I-279 exit 6C onto Fort Duquesne Boulevard. Drive three blocks. Turn right onto 7th Street. 5,000 Religious Relics at St. Anthony's Chapel This is an extremely odd attraction. St. Anthony's Chapel houses 5,000 religious relics. It has the second largest collection of religious relics in the world (the largest is in the Vatican) and a piece of the True Cross. Located at: 1700 Harpster St., Pittsburgh, PA Phone: 412-323-9504 Directions:  From the North I-279 south. Exit 8-B.

Forbes Field -Original Home Plate The remnants of old Forbes Field still exist in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood. Forbes Field was the original home of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates and  was the location of the "Shot Heard 'Round the World" when Bill Mazeroski hit a home run winning the game against the New York Yankees in 1960.  The field was torn down in 1970, but the original home plate and outfield fences were saved by the University of Pittsburgh. Located at: The University of Pittsburgh’s Campus.  Directions: Take the 376 Parkway to the University of Pittsburgh (Oakland, Forbes Ave exit), and look for University of Pitt Posvar building. 20-Foot-Tall Transformer Robot A yellow-and-black transformer was built in 2009 as part of Pittsburgh's 250th birthday celebration.

The robot is made of recognizable girders and beams from Pittsburgh's many bridges, several of which stretch up and down the river just across the street. Pittsburgh is known as the "City of Bridges." The robot looks impressive, but it probably won't last until the wonderful future when the real Transformers rule the earth.

The first floor is being used for a gift shop, but through the door to your left you will find a model and layout of the Homestead Works and the amount of land it was built on. Two rooms in the building have been restored to the way they looked in 1892, with original floorboards and period reproduction wallpaper. One room tells the story of the Homestead Strike; the other contains photographs that chronicle the restoration of the building from dilapidation through its opening as the Rivers of Steel Visitors Center. Recently added to the restored rooms is a computer kiosk displaying an exciting documentary on the Battle of Homestead. Using archival footage, photographs and documents, this film allows you to learn about history on the site where it occurred. There are self guided tours as well as docent tours to learn first hand of the trials steel workers and family faced and how they coped with life. The Homestead Room has a permanent exhibit displaying artifacts and art work specifically related to the Homestead Works. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a 23.5' long model of the Homestead Works that originally stood in the General Office Building of the mill. President Franklin Roosevelt launched a program to place murals and sculptures in post offices across the country.To coincide with the national 75th anniversary of the New Deal, The State Museum of Pennsylvania brings together these same artworks for the first time with a special exhibition. These murals show different walks of life during the period of the steel mill era. Located in the Waterfront, site of the former Homestead Works, the Pump House was the site of the battle between workers and the Pinkerton Detective agents during the 1892 Homestead Lockout and Strike. The site has been renovated for use as an interpretive space. The Pump House is located at 880 E. Waterfront Drive, Munhall. It contains pictures of the past eras as well as mill relics of the time. This is an exciting and interesting tour, anyone even the slightest bit curious about the steel mill industry will learn new information or jar an old memory of someone in your family. Great for the entire family and groups.   <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1107304683 0 0 159 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:10.0pt; line-height:115%;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} Due to the State budget impasse, our office and museum will be closed Friday through Sunday until further notice.  We regret this inconvenience to our members and patrons.  Please urge your State Representative to restore funding to the Heritage Parks Program The Bost Building was built in 1892 as a hotel and served as the temporary headquarters for the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers during the Homestead Lockout and Strike.

Great for the entire family and groups.   <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1107304683 0 0 159 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:10.0pt; line-height:115%;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} Due to the State budget impasse, our office and museum will be closed Friday through Sunday until further notice.  We regret this inconvenience to our members and patrons.  Please urge your State Representative to restore funding to the Heritage Parks Program battle of homestead, bost building, homestead lockout, homestead works, steel mills nonadult false Bost Museum and Pump House text blog battle of homestead,bost building,homestead lockout,homestead works,steel mills 31 0 0.0 http://www.pittsburghwaterline.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=4585655&as=18102 http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/18102/photos/PHOTO_10248162_18102_4585655_ap_160X120.jpg false 0 0 2315398 4585655 Member 0 http://www.pittsburghwaterline.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=22391098&as=18102 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 21:18:06 GMT http://www.pittsburghwaterline.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=22391098&as=18102 Courtney 2010-04-18T21:18:06Z Waterline nonadult false Courtney user 32 0 0.0 http://www.pittsburghwaterline.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=22391098&as=18102 http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/18102/icons/defaultMember_18102_portrait160X120.jpg false 0 22391098 22391098 Member 0 http://www.pittsburghwaterline.com/_Rivers-Casino-for-amusement-only/BLOG/2299248/18102.html Deciding what we wanted to do one Saturday night became easy when someone spoke up and said "Let's go to the Rivers Casino" I had yet to go there so I was game. I counted my money and decided how much I could blow without cutting into the necessity cash needed to make it though till next pay. Then off we went...parking at the casino was a snap, there were several openings the driver picked one and we unloaded. Upon entering the casino you hear your typical sounds and noises to hypnotize and draw you into the frenzy of that one big payoff . Oh boy! Oh boy! can't wait to get started, but first I had to get my card that gives rebates on the cash you've dropped in the machine. I get my card and wait for the call of the machine that's is going to make me a thousandaire tonight, but then my husband comes over to say "There is someone I want you to meet". My brain screams NO! there's money to be made here, but I go with him anyway being the good wife that I am. We head towards the bar with a small stage beside it. I hear the music of songs I know the words to before I see the performers. The combo took five and I was introduced to Bobby Short producer/singer/drummer of King Bobby Short Band & Show, an old friend and co-performer of my husband. As the struck up again we got a couple of beers and seats to listen for a while. A while equaled about three hours of dancing, shaking the tamberine, and socializing with the couples at the other tables. So much fun I forgot I was a casino, and didn't remember until we we're headed for the elevators to the car and passed through the machines. I snagged a seat in front of one, put in twenty dollars, won fifty after three spins, cashed out. And headed home. So even if your not a gambler or a slot player, there still lots of fun to be had at The Rivers Casino.   Deciding what we wanted to do one Saturday night became easy when someone spoke up and said "Let's go to the Rivers Casino" I had yet to go there so I was game.

So agreeing it would be a great day to ride a bike and head to the south side of Pittsburgh, we waited as the day warmed and hit the "T" for a trip to The Golden Triangle Bicycle Rentals at the First Street stop. Here it was just a few steps to the beginning of the Eliza Furnance Trail, where we picked up a tandem bike...this way I figured my husband would be doing most of the pedaling and I'd take my usual position of sightseeing. It took us a few minutes to get our balance and get into our rhythm, but once we got it, it was smooth sailing. The ride on the trail was fun, fun, fun waving and nodding at fellow trail users and taking in the scenery. When the Hot Metal Bridge came into view the excitement grew as we veered into the curve to enter the ramp that would take us to street level. Yeah! we made it to Carson Street and the South Side Works where there was a Chili Cookoff going into high gear with a Mariachi Band. The street was blocked off and people of all ages and walks of life were enjoying the festivities. After tasting the chili's and voting we snagged a table to stand at and take in some refreshments that came out of a beer truck while mulling over what to do next. We decided on the Double Wide Grill a few blocks down from where we were...loved the graffiti wall and the atmosphere (in one corner there is a porch glider ) of being in someones back yard.  As the day wound down we headed back to Golden Triangle Bicycle Rentals, dropped off the bike, hopped back on the ''T" for the return trip home and proptly fell asleep. Best tired I've ever had.   Waking up to a glorious day Saturday had us thinking outside and what to do.

The exhibits in the walnut display cases can be a little awkward, as you often have to lean over tables of other customers.  You will see a Big Mac toaster used from 1970 to 1997, a Big Mac Sauce Gun (it looks like a grease gun), and assorted business awards such as, "A Long And Tasteful Partnership: Coca-Cola and Big Mac." For fans ingesting Big Macs since the early days, there's an Ascent of Packaging display tracing the evolution of the wrapper through its styrofoam container incarnations, to the recycled, ecologically sensitive burger boxes, and then back to paper wrappers. The Ingredient Mantra ("2 all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese…") is a wallpaper pattern in the dining room. One case displays bobble-heads of the Delligatti management team, presided over by Chief Big Mac. A life-size bronze bust of Delligatti occupies a center table, with a Big Mac in his hand . Another table remembers Pittsburgh mayor Sophie Masloff, who declared September 25, 1992, to be "McDonald's Corporation Day," and renamed the city "Big Mac USA." In an indoor corner of the "Playplace," stands a 14-foot-tall Big Mac The World's Largest Big Mac spotlit and set upon a large silver pedestal.

Where else can you find out how much you weigh on the moon or Mars? Get up close and personal with the robot from Lost in Space and look into the eyes of C3PO from the Star Wars Epic? The robotics exhibit is amazing with lots of hands on interaction to keep you, your spouse and children entertained for hours. I personally took a liking to the robot playing basketball, picking up balls and doing different shots that ended up being nothing but net every time...well it did miss one shot, hey even a robot isn't perfect. A trip to the Carnegie Science Center is not complete without a stop at the miniature railroad with its life like towns and townspeople. A miniature Fallingwater has been added that images the real thing, the eye catcher for me is the amusement park with it's little tiny Ferris Wheel and various rides. There is so much to do at the Science Center that you need to schedule a full day to take it all in. Still if you need to burn off more energy drop in to the New Sports Works, where you can ride a simulator, a unicycle and test your pitching and wall climbing skills. After a day at the Science Center everyone will be tired but satisfied. Get your heads together and pick a date to spend a fun day playing while you learn.   Welcome to indoor play and education land! Where else can you find out how much you weigh on the moon or Mars? Get up close and personal with the robot from Lost in Space and look into the eyes of C3PO from the Star Wars Epic? The robotics exhibit is amazing with lots of hands on interaction to keep you, your spouse and children entertained for hours. I personally took a liking to the robot playing basketball, picking up balls and doing different shots that ended up being nothing but net every time...well it did miss one shot, hey even a robot isn't perfect. A trip to the Carnegie Science Center is not complete without a stop at the miniature railroad with its life like towns and townspeople. A miniature Fallingwater has been added that images the real thing, the eye catcher for me is the amusement park with it's little tiny Ferris Wheel and various rides. There is so much to do at the Science Center that you need to schedule a full day to take it all in.

This is one cool museum...on the lower level installation "Vampire Battle" by Tony Oursler using video, steel, digital prints and foam board animates non-living objects with the use of projectors and deals with communication and lack of communication in contemporary society. On the second level of the museum James Turrell's permanent installation, is experienced in complete darkness so that light appears as an almost solid form, eerie yet interesting. On the third level you'll find Yayoi Kusama's "Infinity Dots Mirrored Room" a permanent installation where you'll be fascinated with your image being duplicated all around you with no end. In Greer Lankton's permanent installation "It's all about ME" you'll find a room inhabited by the dolls and figures Lankton made during the course of her life-an anorexic Raggedy Ann and a morphine addict on a cot surrounded by pill bottles. Go and see for yourself there's is much more to experience, this is just a sneak peek to an enjoyable experience.

Bruce educated Ron and me on the stages and the ABC's of photography describing the different stages of development before film and after. The old time assortment of viewers for the pictures were a treat, some made the photos appear in 3-D, some made the pictures appear in color. The historic photos though out the museum are truly worth every inch of space. The photos themselves show all walks of life, with images of people from all colors of the rainbow. We were shown an old fashion photography room with a sky light used to light up the subjects and then on to the current exhibit which is "Pittsburgh Shantytown". What's a shantytown? Shantytowns were depression villages between Penn and Liberty Avenues. They were sometimes called a "Hooverville. "Hoovervilles sprang up across America in the 1930"s. They took their name from President Herbert Hoover who was in office when th "Great Depression" began. Here you will find men, women and children living in homemade 'houses constructed of box wood and lumber, these proud people would not accept free funds from the government. Sometimes they became tourist attractions and any donation given became part of the community chest and was shared by all the dwellers. In the gift shop area most of the historic photos copies are sold along with other souvenir items, in this area also are scads of old movie cameras, instant cameras,  cameras you had as a child…like the Kodak swinger and the brownie. Ron pointed out that there is only one other photo museum of this sort located in New York. We have a great treasure here you don’t want to miss it. Group tours are encouraged to tour the museum and it holds items to please all age groups Photo Antiquities Museum is a pleasure to visit.

From February 19 through July 18, 2010 the Senator John Heinz History Center Presents: Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon. The exhibition features highlights from Mount Vernon's collection of the man himself, revealing his personal achievements, his family, and entrepreneurial skills. Lose yourself in the times...observe full-scale figures of Washington, a model of Fort Necessity displaying all the action of battle with minute details such as fallen men,horses and cannons.  The model of Mount Vernon is facinating in detail and takes you on a mental visit to The Washington's estate with its grand gardens, bowling greens and buildings. To help you get better aquainted with this man, on display are many of his and Martha's personal items. Of the most personal items is the original set of Washington's dentures, made of ivory, human teeth and animal teeth, and his lock of hair encased in a cameo. The family bible stands encased in the area where the Washington's Family Pew from Pohick Church has been installed. Though the bible contains the hand written recorded birth by his mother the bible is not opened on the genealogy page due to rotation of the pages for preservation. There will be a copy of the genealogy page on display when the exhibit opens. The copper distillery and model grist mill reminds us of the business and entrepreneur side of our first president. What's a party without rye whiskey? The maintence of running his home and business was done with the use of slaves a practice common all over the world in those days of history. Washington showed compassion to "those he owned" and released them from bondage upon his death. Make some time to view this exhibit with your family and friends and enter a world of a fourth grade history class brought to you in living color by the Senator John Heinz History Center.   George Washington!

In Ohioplye State Park you'll find more than a few to observe. Cucumber Falls is a 30 foot waterfall and the most impressive in the park. Taking the stairway down into the gorge brings you to a spot at the base of the fall where the view is just breath taking. If that doesn't do it for you visit the overlook by the top of the falls to take in another view of the fall. If you go DO NOT MISS THIS ONE! But do if you have time check out some of the others in the park: Jonathan Run Falls is a set of small waterfalls 15 to 25 feet high while Ohiopyle Falls located in the center of the park is a low and wide waterfall, the Meadow Run Cascades are beautiful woodland falls and form a cool, clean stream perfect for fishing. The Meadow Run Waterslides are an unique geologic formation. The slides are perfect for a hot summer day, natural free fun, but since its winter and a very cold day I just stand in awe of mother nature.     I'm a winter water fall enthusiast, in the winter the water slows and forms ice crystals and sometimes an entire stream is suspended in, air add a snowy backround and there you have a perfect picture of nature.

Witness the way Native Americans really lived. Discover five different cultures in ten different structures. Primitive hunting and fishing techniques, bow making, tool making, cooking, pottery, gardening, herbs, natural dyes, and tanning are demonstrated and discussed.   The village was built to educate children and adults about the Eastern Woodland culture. The intent is to preserve the area's history for future generations. Included in the village are: a hunting/fishing lean-to, a warrior's longhouse, a trader's lean-to, a border's house, a bow-maker's longhouse, a tanner's wig-wam, a toolmaker's thatched wig-wam, an herb lady's wig-wam, a cook and pottery longhouse, and a gardener/jeweler's wig-wam.   All those involved with Naeskahoni Town are dressed in native garb, including clothing similar to what would have been given to the natives by French, English, and Dutch traders. The first station in the Naeskahoni tour is a lean-to, which served as a commons area for the tribe. Up to 30 people would live in a lean-to, until they would leave the main camps because of shortages in fire wood and game, which were hard to come by in a large quantity suitable for that amount of people. Behind the lean-to is a scaled-down Iroquois long house, also used for communal living. Long houses would have been 15 to 20 feet wide, and up to 200 feet long, Laney said, and each native family would have lived in a 10x10 foot section. The Naeskahoni long house is a replica of a hunters long house, where the dwellers slept in bunks.   Visitors to Naeskahoni Town are led on a 2 1/2-hour tour, visiting the housing replicas and experiencing the daily chores of the native Woodland people, such as grounding corn, breaking hide, and boring holes in stone.   A variety of workshops are offered, including Edible Plants, Herbs, Roots & Bark; Medicinal Plants, Roots, Herbs & Plants; Primitive Trapping; Primitive Bowmaking and Primitive Cooking.
